The open-air outlet, managed by ROS Retail Outlet Shopping, will cover a 17,000sqm area with architecture that “incorporates modern and typical regional stylistic elements in an innovative way.”

Over half the stores will be related to designer and fashion brands, though there will also be segments of “sports and outdoors, shoes and accessories, household goods and kidswear”.

It will be the last main section of the €200 million mega complex to open for business, after IKEA’s own store which opens today (click here), and the MAR Shopping Algarve mall set to open this summer.
